Viewers will know Sam who's reported the weather from Melbourne, Sydney and other locations across Australia when he filled in for three weeks.

In a statement from Channel 7, Sam said he was looking forward to joining the Sunrise team, "I’ve watched Sunrise for years so it’s slightly overwhelming to think that I will be working alongside the Cash Cow."

Sunrise Executive Producer, Michael Pell, said, "The audience will get a lot of things from Sam. What they won’t get is predictability. He’s a loveable, unique talent with a razor sharp wit which will create many memorable Sunrise moments.”

Edwina took to Instagram to share a snap of herself with Sam and said, "So excited for this bloke @sammacinsta. You can pick up your harness, helmet, go pro suit, personalised lab coat, hi vis vest, boots, dog lead and bikini from reception #sun7."
